What is a rf cable (patch lead) and where exactly do I need to connect it?
It's just a coax cable with standard plugs on each end. It connects to the socket on the box marked aerial or rf out to the normal TV aerial socket on your TV.

If I, instead, used an aerial splitter on the cable coming from the aerial wall socket, and then connected one to the box 'aerial in' socket and the other to the aerial socket on the TV, would that do the same job?

Yes provided your signal isn't marginal. The splitter will reduce the signal level.
Other than just trying it, is there any way of knowing whether my signal is marginal, or not?
Signal strength seems to be between 65-70% (depending on the channel).
Signal quality 100%.
What do you think?
Do you know where best to get a splitter from, then? Is there a specific spec or set of features I should be looking for?

Any uhf splitter will do the job. Have you a screwfix locally ?
Or a toolstation

E-bay
You will need some screw on f connectors for the above (supplied on the e-bay link.
The metal case ones are better quality than the plastic ones.
Maplin do one with Belling Lees but as usual they are very expensive
